Commenting on the results, Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres, said, “The first half results have been a mixed bag. On the domestic front, the cyclones as well as the extended rains affected our growth in the fisheries segment. In our international business, we have had some delays in receipt of substantial orders as many of the aquaculture customers gauged our new innovative V2 technology offerings before placing their requirements. However we now have good visibility for the second half of the year and will look towards an improved year end result. On the plus side, we have had good working capital management in the first half, resulting in higher fund generation from operations.”
